I  grew up in Stockholm, Sweden, but I was raised in the exile-Estonian community. My parents fled Estonia as children when the Soviet Union invaded their home country. I never felt at home in Sweden, and left home at the age of 18 to move to London. Since then, I have lived in six countries across three continents: Sweden, England, Estonia, Peru, Spain, and the USA. For the last 26 years, I've called New York City home. I'm spurred by an insatiable curiosity, which has—among other things—led me to visit more than 80 countries across the world. 

​

My outlook on life changed forever when my parents died in a ferry accident. This catapulted my spiritual development beyond just sensing spirits. A few years later, I met the renowned spiritual channel Alex Murray in New York City, and he taught me how to channel spirits. I'm also a certified Reiki healer and Soul Realignment practitioner, which has greatly influenced my worldview, my faith, and of course also my writing. 

 

I believe in living life to the fullest and facing/overcoming any fears. I'm all about trying anything new, so challenge me! I've tasted deep-fried crickets and bamboo worms in the Chiang Rai market. I've traveled across West Africa in steaming hot, rusty, overly crowded buses, I've sped down the streets of Jaipur in a bicycle-rikshaw, with the local driver sitting in the passenger seat, I've traveled down the Suriname River in a dugout canoe, and traveled to the desert village of Agadez in Niger despite the terrorism threat. I want to be brave. Take Risks. Live.

When I'm not writing or exploring the world and the universe beyond, I love to read.
